First one......

I was pondering quite some time now as to what to blog first so as to kick start this blog space. However nothing solid flashed. May be am unfit to be a blogger , to not have any flash of idea for 10 days are so. May be am a bit far lazy. so as a simple start i thought i will review some three films that i happened to see in the last fortnight. I was awestruck by all these movies in one way or though. Now, i am a film buff and it isn't that i get awestruck unreasonably. I jus don't want to write big reviews though they all definitely deserve one. However i post this more so as a record my feelings about this movie rather than hot reviews.

Paruthi Veeran
Cast: Karthik Sivakumar, Priyamani,Saravanan, Kanja karuppu & Others
Technicians: Ameer, Yuvan, Ramji

This move just affirms the fact that a cinema is a director's medium (which unfortunately is not so prevelant in tamil cinema). No doubt that great movies are great teamworks. But i have no choice left but to be a bit biased towards the director of this movie, Ameer. I just could not envisage this movie without Ameer. There is no great story or plot or whatsoever. It is the the screenplay & style thats sparks magic. It simply captures lively the rustic lifepath of a bunch of people who get entwined by relations and emotions.It is sheer hardwork that works in favor of this film. And this is easily evident from the performances of the artists and especially the lead artists. It is a solid, stupendous, power packed performance by karthik. A performance of this sort for a debutant actor is unexplainable. That is something only to be relished. Priyamani too does display her acting prowess to a great extent. However she scales a bit down in comparison with karthik. The reason i guess is one is not equally convinced with the muthazhagu character as they are with paruthiveeran. But still it is a convincing portrayal of the character by priyamani. Every other character including one time hero sarvanan, ganja karuppu, the kid and a whole lot of others are so natural and only add to the authentic flavour of the movie. The screenplay and the characters were so soothingly flowing that i did not care to take a seperate notice of the music. That is in itself tells a lot how Yuvan has blended music into the narration. However i strongly feel that this is a movie which could have been taken to still greater heights if RAASA had scored the music. That does not demean Yuvan in any way. Full credits for the songs ariyatha vayasu, Ayyayyoo and many a pieces of brilliance in the Background scores. Camera by ramji is the second most important aspect next to ameer's direction. Right from frame one it is such a genuine portrayal of a perfect village with the right shades reflecting the rustic moods of the happenings. Many may not be able to accept, digest the climax or atleast the way it is presented. But one have to accept that the climax is disturbing. There are a few shortcomings like too much of violence, the film getting sluggish at moments. On the whole a movie that would definitely take tamil movies to higher leagues. Don't ever forget that all the mantra behind this classic output is that one man called Ameer. Watch out for this director who definitely can easily get on the leagues of names that changed the face of tamil film industry.
